3. Salem Report <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 noted that Intergovernmental Relations Director Jason Heuser was unable to attend the meeting <br />because he was testifying that day on the bill proposing to eliminate the Lane County Local Government <br />Boundary Commission. He commended the work done by the committee and staff with the assistance of <br />George Poling, who took the place of Ms. Bettman when she was unable to attend, during City Hall Day on <br />April 13. He said the committee had been able to secure more support for its position against the boundary <br />commission bill. <br /> <br />In regard to the State budget, Mr. Pap6 reported the legislature had agreed to limit State spending to $12.4 <br />billion over the biennium. The question was whether revenues would be adequate. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap6 said that SB 1000, the civil unions bill, would be considered by the committee the following week. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:40 a.m. <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br />MINUTES--Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations April 7, 2005 Page 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
